Lectures


NEW! Fabricologist Anonymous
I admit I belong to FA and am a longtime member. Are you? The problem is I love fabric and I have a lot of it! Come learn how to organize, and use your fabric collection in this lecture through power point and quilt examples.







Medallion Madness
Have you noticed at quilt shows that there are so many medallion quilts being made? I love medallions and the challenge of making it work! Through a PowerPoint and trunk show, I will share the history of medallion quilts and hints on how to design your own! Two workshops available as optional add-ons!





Tackling the Fear of Quilt Judging!
Don't be afraid to enter a quilt show... Karen will share her knowledge of quilt judging from an entrant's viewpoint. Do's and Dont's when entering a show will be discussed.
If Quilts Could Talk
Karen will share the stories of quilts from her collection using a power point presentation and invites members of the guild to bring their quilts and share the stories. The importance of documenting the stories of quilts will be discussed.
Two Faces of a Quilter! - Trunk Show
A trunk show of Karen's quilts and stories of her travels through the quilting world. Karen loves all types of quilting and flips back and forth between traditional and contemporary works. She will start with her first and end with one of her newest pieces to show how one can use lessons learned along the way to improve and stretch their skills.


Appraisal - should I?
Reasons for having our quilts and collections appraised and the appraisal process will be discussed. An appraisal will be demonstrated.






Workshops



NEW! Strip Illusion
Do you have a lot of scraps and do not know what to do with them? Let's use those scraps and strips to create a wall hanging that gives an illusion of curves with only stitching straight lines!







Medallion Madness
This workshop coincides with the lecture. We will start with a center block that student's bring to class and create a medallion wall hanging.
